Fandom/Universe: Strangetown, Here We Come
Character(s): Ripp, Johnny
( Mama, why am I so alone? I can't go outside - I'm scared I might not make it home. )
a/n: Fixed up scrap. Johnny/Ripp is my most favorite of possible JRO pairings (ruling out keeping them as a trio). This is actually really strange, because I don't really tend to favor M/M pairings. I don't have a problem with slash and enjoy reading it from time to time and I like how Strange deals with sexuality in the story, but I naturally gravitate towards Het first, and then Femslash second. Boy slash doesn't really tickle my fancy in a fan sense.
But I just adore Johnny/Ripp. Probably because it's all subtext with them. They are very romantic with one another, but they don't really seem to dwell on what that could mean. Also, I just love the turmoil inside Johnny when it comes to Ripp. On one hand this guy is trying to lay claim to something that is Johnny's and on the other hand this is RIPP - his best friend. And these two sides are constantly warring with one another. He wants to both attack Ripp and make him hurt, and at the same time he only wants to protect and hold onto him.
Ripp isn't so conflicted. Johnny is his best friend. Ophelia is his perfect girl. He loves them. He loves them together. He loves them together with him.
